HMD Global has been known for releasing Nokia smartphones. The company just released the long-awaited Nokia 7.1, a midrange smartphone at a very affordable price of $349 (£299).

What does a $349 smartphone have to offer?

The price of Nokia 7.1 is very friendly, considering the specs it holds and when compared to other similar phones with the same specs range.

The phone brings an elegant display, holding a 5.84-inch notched display and it’s the first phone to feature “PureDisplay screen technology.” This enables it to display HDR-quality images and also convert SDR to HDR being that it supports HDR 10

Like most other smartphone devices, the Nokia 7.1 is in Google’s Android One program, that is two more upgrades will eventually storm the device; it comes out of the box running on Android 8.0 Oreo OS. However, the Android 9 Pie OS support is expected to roll into the device in November.

Additionally, the phone's performance is maintained with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 processor.

At the back of the device mounts 12MP / 5MP dual cameras with the most feature being the Nokia-branded “Bothie” photos which makes it possible to simultaneously shoot a photo from the back and front-facing cameras. This is powered by ZEISS Optics.

The Nokia 7.1 is powered by a 3,060mAh to keep it running and with the help of Android 9 Pie upgrade in future, you will be able to stretch its lasting time per charge. The phone comes with a fast battery charging ability (9V/2A 18W) that charges on a 2.0 USB-C port assisted by a 3.5mm headphone jack

Memory-wise, this device is available in two variants; 64GB Storage and 4GB RAM memories or 32GB Storage and 3GB RAM.

If you're not satisfied with the memory options, the phone is privileged to house a micro SD up to 400GB.
